First-year starting goalie Erica Weed delivered a season-high 10 saves, and just as important was her arm strength on outlet passes that fed Corona del Mar's vaunted counterattack.

Weed's twin sister, Genevieve, served as the primary 2-meter guard but still found the energy to score two of the first three goals of the fourth period and assist the other.

Musselman and the Weeds blended with returning standouts Cassidy Papa and Ally McCormick, who combined for five goals.

"I think it's just building our confidence even more," Papa said of the Sea Kings' start. "Everybody was kind of, 'Oh, the Greeks.' Honestly, with or without them, we're going to come out full firing. ... When we do get them (the Haralabidis sisters), it's just going to be an extra advantage."

Corona del Mar also is building its depth if two of its starters from Friday presumably become reserves once the Haralabidis sisters become eligible.

Corona del Mar had some extra help Friday. Papa played her first match since returning from the FINA world youth championships in Perth, Australia.

The Stanford-bound senior scored the go-ahead goal with 21 seconds left in the third but the chance started with Musselman. The active and quick attacker stole the ball and fed Papa for a counterattack goal that gave Corona del Mar a 5-4 lead going into the fourth.

Corona del Mar scored the next three goals to open an 8-4 lead near the middle of the fourth.

"That was a huge spark," Papa said of Musselman's steal. "Maddie is just that fire that you can always count on to just be everywhere."
